Well, there are worse things than staring at the water on a Sunday
Today we went to the Seattle Aquarium with the fandamily and Kylee and Wim. Since we had so many bazillion people, we ended up getting a family membership thing... it's for 2 adults free, 5 guest passes, and in theory children under 19 but since Ollie is Eli's brother and not his son, they just made us use all the guest passes. But, the upshot of this is that I believe Eli and I can go back for free a whole bunch of times this year AND we can get 2 friends in per visit for half price, if I understood them correctly. So if anyone wants to go, check with us, we can maybe hook you up ;)
To be honest though, half of the aquarium isn't that interesting to me, aside from the photography aspect of it, since we've been there already. The new cool things to me were the jellyfish arch and the Finding Nemo tank. Actually, it was cool all day to hear little kids excitedly talking about the different species of fish and calling them by their character names in Finding Nemo. The other interesting part for me is the sea otters and sea lions and river otters and fur seals and so on. The sea otters are just incredibly cute. I could stare at them for hours and just go "Awwwww!" We also happened to show up at feeding time, so the fur seals were all jumping around and being funny. One of the sea otters found a piece of piping and was playing with that for a while. It was almost like a teething ring for otters or something as it tried to gnaw at it. It was just so cute. They roll over and over and look like they're washing their faces and whatnot.
After that we wandered around Pike Place Market a bit, and got a little bit of food to hold people over until dinner. Dinner was at Chinook's in Ballard, with Deb and her parents, who were also in town this weekend. So we had a huge table of people... and I kept checking the Mariners game score and kept getting sad because we were losing. But, so at least Chinook's had tuna steaks, even if it was albacore. I can't remember much of the conversation of the evening to be honest, I was zoning out quite a bit.
So we said goodbye to the whole fandamily and they went on their way to Portland, and Eli and I came home. I meant to try to accomplish work work but instead I decided to finally fucking update my DDR Cosplay Page. Added like 40 pictures... I'm sure there are plenty out there that I've never stumbled upon, though. I dunno.
After that I decided to go play DDR at Sunset, for the exercise/etc. So, the good news: Sunset got a WHOLE BRAND NEW DDR EXTREME MACHINE! Bright screen, pristine dance pad, etc. The bad news: 1) now it's 75 cents for 3 songs instead of for 5 songs 2) it's not unlocked at all! I ended up playing like 3 or 4 sets, I forget which... it was kinda frustrating though, I'm still having left foot issues when I play catas. Headed home. Going to sleep soon. Yeah.

As far as I can tell it's 24/7. I have never been there later than 1:30-2am or so, but I've been told by several staffers there that they leave it on all night.
I can confirm for sure that Kenmore's DDR machine is 24/7, as a whole bunch of us used to go play there until like... 5am and whatnot.

If there were some indication of when something was added, or if a picture was new, that would be cool.
